Yes, we all agree on that part.

but I disagree. This has only disadvantages. Old versions of mount
would not compile anymore. Instead glibc should present
umount(path)
and
umount2(path,flags)
to the world.
Then old programs continue functioning, regardless of kernel and libc.
Just a new call, a new name, no problems anywhere, even the man page
remains correct.
